i guess there's something missing in it_ i would say: "a modern general-purpose multiserver microkernel os.." the 'modern' part of it means the will to create the sound system, usb / wifi stacks, >128Gb disk I/O errors, device drivers/ DDE kit and all the other things >missing that a gp os should have nowadays_ the word 'kernel' is rather reductive_ i guess you want to have an os, not just a kernel, but the kernel itself is (ranging from mach, to l4, to coyotos, viengoos or whatever will possibly be) built with a microkernel+multiserver architecture_ i would mention that thing as it is a different beast compared to NT, OSX, Linux, BSD... it's just words, anyway.. best regards a.
